The latest ArcGIS Pro 3.3 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 releases of ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing include several exciting new features and enhancements, such as support for:
- Linear Referencing System (LRS)-based widgets within ArcGIS Experience Builder that allow you to query, search, and make event edits on LRS data
- Along with template applications to get started quickly as well as the ability to configure custom applications for your exact requirements
- Snap event behavior in Retire Route
- Snap to vertex option for calibration points impacted by a Cartographic Realignment

ArcGIS Enterprise Capabilities
Experience Builder LRS widgets
The next generation web experience for querying, editing, and analysis of LRS data is here! These Experience Builder widgets are designed specifically for use with Pipeline Referencing data and will appear in the list of available widgets under the Location Referencing section when creating experiences using Experience Builder. Widgets can be deployed individually for specific applications, such as a pipeline search, or with multiple widgets in an application, for example, as a replacement to the Event Editor app. The first group of widgets in this release include:
- LRS Search – Search for specific locations on your routes via route/measure, coordinates, or offset from features like intersections, weld points, or signs.
- LRS Identify – Get route, measure, and event attribute information at a location with one click.
- Add Point Event – Add one or more LRS point events at a location on a route.
- Add Line Event – Add one more LRS linear events across a measure range of a route (or routes if the events span routes).
- Split Event – Split an event at a location into two events with new attributes.
- Merge Events – Merge two adjacent events into a single event with updated attributes.
Additional ArcGIS Pro Capabilities
Other new tools and enhanced capabilities within ArcGIS Pro include snap event behavior support in Retire Route and a new option for calibration points to snap to an existing vertex when impacted by a Cartographic Realignment.
Snap Event Behavior in Retire Route
If you model concurrent routes within your LRS Network(s), snap event behavior is now available when using the Retire Route tool. When a portion or the entirety of a route is retired and there are one or more routes that are concurrent or overlapping with the retired section, snap behavior will utilize the route dominance rules configured in the LRS to determine which of those concurrent routes to “snap” the event to. The result is the event(s) don’t change location, instead they have a new routeID(s) and measure(s) assigned as it’s now associated with a different route that remains at the location where the original route was retired.
Snap to Existing Vertex Calibration Point Option in Cartographic Realignment
A new option for calibration points impacted by a cartographic realignment called snap to vertex is now available. When a centerline is updated in a cartographic realignment and this option is selected, any calibration points that are within the section that was cartographically realigned will snap to the same vertex that they were associated with before the centerline shape changed. This is especially useful for Pipeline Referencing users who model calibration points along their routes at specific locations, such as points of inflection, as they can ensure a specific vertex and calibration point remains at the location after the centerline shape changes.
